[Bug 804171] Re: ubuntu-desktop package depends on lightdm but no greeter

[Robert Ancell]

** Description changed:

- It seems that, after last upgrade of Oneiric made one hour ago, either Xserver or lightdm doesn't work anymore.
- Before the login screen Ubuntu prints out some state messages. The last one is "Checking battery state" (mine it is not a portable PC)
- I have to press Alt+F1, I logged in and wrote "startx". Gnome3 says "Failed to load session "gnome-fallback"" (my pc doesn't support neither Gnome-shell nor Unity3D) and pressing the only button Log Out terminal compares again.
- Is it possible to rollback last upgrade of Lightdm?
+ The ubuntu-desktop does not depend on unity-greeter.  The lightdm
+ package recommends unity-greeter, but it is possible to upgrade and have
+ lightdm installed (which ubuntu-desktop does depend on) but no greeter
+ installed.  Unity greeter is a part of unity and should be a dependency
+ on ubuntu-desktop.
